Gray Currawong, I'm told. Close enough.

Best wishes to her, and I hope he's reporting accurately.

Which reminds me, how's he doing? No issues turned up since the accident?

Geez, I hope he's okay.
Current cars are wonderful at keeping the occupants safe -though the cars tend to look awful afterwards, it's rather deceptive. (Remembering how my wife's car looked after an accident she'd been in. Not a scratch on her, but the car looked torn in half.)

In the meantime, a heat wave is heading across Australia. There will likely be records broken by mid-week.

I presume that they don't really know - and may be leaving it as vague as they can so they can't be accused of wrongful prosecution or damage to property (IE blowing the drone out of the sky)

Nope.
The last tech advance I can recall that was genuinely useful would have been solid state drives. Everything I can think of after (NFTs, bitcoin, LLM "AI") have all been scams.

Minnesotans have two ancestral modes: a nice hotbake, or sack and burn your cities. Currently they prefer mode one.

Pretty common in some parts of Australia in the 70s - my wife remembers the Mayor of Moree (northern NSW, hot and dry) dressing that way, plus folks in Queensland (hot and humid).

Ghod DAMN that's hardcore!

It's more like this administration wants to destroy <everything>, leave nothing good in this world, that they don't directly control and profit off of.

I suppose the next question is if they are as effective - range, volume, etc. - as regular whistles.
Not that creeping out thugs isn't worthwhile in its own right, of course.

I wonder if it's possible to 3D print the Aztec Death Whistle?

It's funny how cheap little things like that can be so well done.
